Media Blackout May 15th

This is great news for Hilary Clinton. She's following the Yellow Brick Road very nicely!

It give Hillary another wonderful opportunity to slash and burn former relationships then claim that super delegates were no good anyway and they were only extra baggage. See, that's why I like Hillary, she's like a little chameleon, a little…… lying chameleon, and the important thing is that James Carville is still on her side and he can vote like, 50 times more than this one super delegate. BTW, where is the clown? Haven’t seen him around since last Monday 😀 I wonder why……

Media Blackout May 15th

Someone tell the Gimmick Candidate Carl Rove is on the phone, he has something to tell her.

From what I heard, the GOP dumped Hillary after Tuesday. They thanked her for her hard work and how she followed their every instruction but they declined her membership application to the GOP party, they called her a JUDAS 😮

Democratic Unity

Party unity and making Hillary happy are two VERY different things.

Lynda from Texas

There are many others who would be far superior on the ticket than Hillary. Governor Strickland of Ohio, just to name one.

Having Hillary (which would also mean Bill – I guess it would be Billary), would be ill advised as Senator Obama would be bringing on to his ticket the old politics as usual.

Additionally, no one, most of all Senator Obama, can trust the Clintons not to undermine his campaign and future candidacy.

Finally, who would want a racist, unethical and untrustworthy shrew?

It is truly a shame that the first woman to run and have a chance at the presidency was one who disgraces womankind with her lack of ethics, racism and inability to tell the truth. She is a very poor representative of what a truly strong, powerful woman is!!

SEN. CHRIS DODD – AS FAR AS I AND MANY OR CONCERNED YOU ARE UNLESS. SO PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ANY MORE COMMENTS. YOU HAVE ACTUALLY LOST TOUCH WITH THE REAL AMERICAN AND REAL DEMOCRATIC. AND ALONG WITH OTHERS YOU HAVE TURNED PEOPLE AWAY.

AS FAR AS YOU OBAMA SUPPORTERS YOU WERE THE ONES THAT STARTED SAYING YOU WOULD NOT VOTE FOR CLINTON IF OBAMA LOST FIRST. DO NOT PUT THAT ON CLINTON SUPPORTERS. WE WERE TRUE DEMOCRATICS BUT AFTER THE HATE AND BIAS FROM THE MEDIA AND OBAMA AND HIS SUPPORTERS IT IS NOW TIME WE GO INDEPENDENT.

Hillary carries too much NEGATIVE baggage! The Clintons are simply DIVISIVE AND UNTRUSTWORTHY!

To put Obama and Clinton on the same ticket is a sure dumb way to DESTROY Obama Presidency!

I tend to agree. Although putting Hillary on Obama's ticket as the VP would appease some of the democrats now supporting Clinton, I just don't see them working together in harmony. Hillary is too "power hungry", Obama will have Bill nipping at his heals and between the two of them most likley would undermine Obama at every turn. All one has to do is look at how the Clinton's have handled their campaign. To put Hillary on Obama's ticket may get some more votes in November but it will not enhance the opportunity he has to unite this country with "new" politics. He is better off picking someone else. No matter who he picks, he will win in November regardless of all those who now say, "I won't vote for him." Some people may be angry now as they were so supportive of Hillary but I really don't think that as a group they are stupid!

You are going to get a surprise...........

Hillary Clinton will be the nominee!

Billy from Fl

Dodd may think his party will rally around Obama, but there are going to be millions that will write Hillary on the ballot, not vote or vote for
John McCain.

I don't think the democrats realize people are just NOT going to vote for Obama. When I voted for Hillary in Fl, Obama's name was on the
ticket, and when your standing in line with over 200 people waiting
to vote and 99% of the voters are voting for Clinton that's got to be
a wake up call for someone in congress. Obama's supporters are
calling this a racial issue, but people are not voting for Obama
because he's black, it's because of the inexperience and we just don't
trust him. He is winning this election with 98% of the black vote weather they believe in him or not. If Obama becomes the next President they will be in the streets waving flags, and justly so, but
if he's not the nominee there will be riots in the street with Sharpton
leading the parade.

If these so called party leaders think that us Hillary supporters are just going to fall in line behind their flawed choice, then they'd better think again. It's not going to happen. Obama and his supporters are going to discover that many of her voters feel that she was betrayed by her own party, so why should we support a party who did not support our choice for the President. I have accepted that McCain will be the next president but only for one term and then Hillary can run again with the "I told you so" campaign.

Joyce in Florida

Like we care whatever Chris Dodd has to say. I am sick and tired of people saying that Hillary Clinton should quit and that Senator Obama will be the nominee. No one knows that yet. We could all be in for a surprise. Just let the contests run out and then see where the candidates stand. I still continue to support Hillary Clinton all the way to the convention. As usual, I find it typical of Senator Obama's arrogance that he thinks he already is the nominee and is planning his strategy for November. I also am sick of hearing Obama this, Obama that. Stop bashing Hillary Clinton already. The only person dividing our party from Day 1 has been Barack Obama. End of story. GO HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!

There is no such thing as a Dream Ticket involving Clinton ... that would be more like a NIGHTMARE!!! Obama needs to be given the opportunity to choose his own running mate ... the HILLBILLIES need to read the writing on the wall, and quietly disappear – they have done enough damage!!!!

Chris Todd is absolutely right! Having Hillary as a running mate would be a disaster. She and Bill are the opposite of everything Obama stands for such as honesty, integrity and the ability to think of others. i believe, John Edwards, Bill Richardson and yes even Chris Todd would be great choices.
Hillary and Bill need to just go away!!

Jane, NC

Since Obama made his condescending remark, "I want Clinton to feel good about the process" in the end, he surely doesn't deserve her as his running mate, not that he ever did. The man is not in her league. The way his nomination has been "won" for him by the Obama-biased media and the ridiculous caucuses and "rules" of the DNC that ignored the standing of 2 entires states, I will vote for Obama if I have to, but it will not be as a democrat. After years of being a member of that party, hereafter I'm an independent.

According to Bernstein, Clinton wants the vice presidency badly, more than returning to the Senate.

But increasingly, it sounds like she isn't going to get it.

Not to jump the gun or anything, but my guess is she is going to be a sore loser about it. Her ultimate ambitions are slipping through her fingers.

She claimed toward the beginning of the race that she only made the decision to run for president in 2006. But it seems clear to me that she has wanted this and been planning for it for a much longer time–I think since she was in college, and when she met Bill.

If this happened it wouldn't surprize me if Oboma went the way of 56 people in the inner circle of the CLinton's who died of mysterious circumstances.. Outrageous? Hardly...Film at 11:00...

Why talking about VP while she hasn't even drop out.

Obama, please don't listen to them.
Obama will win because God said it, not because Clinton is his VP.

She would be a better running mate for McCain since she thinks more like him.Just because a child cries for ice cream does not mean you have give it to them.

It seems that all the Obama supporters are downplaying talk of an Obama-Clinton ticket b/c they want to be Obama's runningmate, especially Dodd and McCaskill who have proven themselves to be unscrupulous opportunists looking for higher positions
